Hornblower: Loyalty Page #5

---

Whether i lived

or died.

I care, horatio.

My heart leaps

When i hear your

footstep on the stair,

And when

i hear your voice-

Please, maria.

I know i shouldn't say

these things, but i must,

For i shall

never see you again.

I'm sorry.

I have my duty.

Man:
come on,

you marines.

Get bellied

by the rail there.

Come aboard, sir.

Bush:
names?

Charles orrock, sir.

Midshipman.

John hammond, sir.

Midshipman, sir.

Well,

as midshipmen,

I'll expect you

to know this ship

Like the back

of your hand.

Otherwise, you'll know the back

of mine. Is that understood?

Sir.

I would like to speak to

the captain, sir, to thank-

You shall speak

to the captain

When you're spoken to,

lad, and not before.

Now go on below, both of

you, and store your dunnage.

Aye, aye, sir.

Aye, aye.

Ahem.

Sir.

Maria.

Mr. Hornblower,

i'm sorry.

I'm sorry

for what i said.

There's no need to,

truly.

I couldn't bear for us

to part on such terms,

So i...

You...

I made you these, sir.

Gloves.

Gloves,

mr. Hornblower.

A small token that you

might think of me sometimes.

I need no token, maria.

I...

Must get back

to the ship.

Farewell,

mr. Hornblower.

Maria...

Thank you...

For the gloves.

Good morning, major.

Man:
you there!

Sail up and clear

that bunt line!

Different man:

aye, aye, sir!

You are...

William bush,

first lieutenant.

Have my bag

put in my cabin, bush,

And take me

to the captain.

May i see

your orders, sir?

Your captain will not

like to be kept waiting.

Neither do i.

Show me your orders, sir,

and he won't be.

You're a frenchman.

You object?

No, sir.

We all serve the king.

Matthews, have the major's

dunnage stored in my quarters.

Aye, aye, sir.

Man:
boat ahoy!

Different man:

hotspur!

Captain's

coming on, sir.

Very well.

Boatswain's mates.

Side, boys. Lively. Ho!

Man:
present. Hut!

God's blood, what has he got in here?

Provisions.

Provisions? Where are we

going, the west indies?

Will that be all, sir?

For the present,

styles.

I didn't catch

your name.

Uh, wolfe, sir.

Your coxswain.

Worry about where we're headed

when we get there, wolfe.

Major cotard, captain.

Ah.

You are welcome

in this ship, major.

Glad to hear it.

That will be all.

Slack water now, sir. First

of the ebb in 10 minutes.

Anchors offshore.

Thank you, mr. Bush. I

shall be up presently.

I was expecting

a somewhat larger vessel.

Don't judge a ship by the

number of its guns, major,

But by the skill

of its crew.

The hotspur is more

than equal to the task.

You will make

your rendezvous.

Ahem.

Stand by there

at the capstan!

Thank you, mr. Prowse.

Mr. Bush will take her out.

Bush:

aye, aye, sir.
